Be Mine: The 1985 Valentine’s Day Movie Draft

🥣 Season 13, Episode 5Remember your first happy hour? Saturday mornings, when you’d wake up with the sun, grab a bowl of chocolatey cereal, and lose yourself in a world of cartoons, commercials, and pure, unfiltered joy. We’re still chasing that feeling, one episode at a time.And this week? We’re firing up the DeLorean and heading straight back to 1985 for our “Be Mine: The 1985 Valentine’s Day Movie Draft,” a hostful celebration of the films that defined one of the greatest years in movie history. Join Grim Shea, Mark E., Johnny Heck, and Retro Cool Nerd’s Jimmy “The Gent” Leszczynski as they throw down in a five round serpentine draft, building their ultimate love letters to the movies of ’85. Each pick comes with two minutes to make the case, not film school fancy, not cinema snob analysis, just the real reasons these movies mattered to us growing up. The memories. The moments. The VHS rewinds. The lines we still quote today.1985 wasn’t just a good year, it was stacked. Blockbuster adventures, teen classics, sci fi icons, fantasy quests, underdog stories, and soundtracks that still live rent free in our heads. The big question is… which titles will make the draft board, and which beloved favorites will heartbreakingly fall into the honorable mentions pile? Expect surprises, nostalgia bombs, and plenty of “How did THAT last until round three?!” energy.This episode is a Valentine to a single year, the movies we rented, recorded off cable, watched until the tape wore thin, and still carry with us four decades later. 🥄 So pour yourself a bowl and come draft 1985 with us.Stay crunchy, my friends. 🥣🥣Saturday Morning Cereal — the show that celebrates the themes of Saturday Morning TV that we not only grew up with, but that grew up with us.We talk with the talent and creatives who continue to shape the pop culture we love.🎙️ Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and visit mattypradio.com for more episodes, interviews, and Comic-Con and pop-culture coverage.
